Problem description
===================
There is a lot of problems with SerialArray class:

1. Useless constructor:

     public SerialArray(Array array, Map map) throws SerialException, SQLException {

elements = (Object[])array.getArray(map);
        baseType = getBaseType();
//SSW : it is looks like correct way is baseType = array.getBaseType();
        baseTypeName = getBaseTypeName();
//SSW : it is looks like correct way is baseType = array.getBaseTypeName();
        len = elements.length;

//SSW : following switch does not work correctly due to wrong init.
        switch (baseType) {
        case java.sql.Types.STRUCT:
....

2. The same with next one:
     public SerialArray(Array array) throws SerialException, SQLException {

elements = (Object[])array.getArray();
        baseType = getBaseType();
        baseTypeName = getBaseTypeName();
        len = elements.length;

        switch (baseType) {

3. Due to bugs in constructors following methods work incorrectly:
    public int getBaseType() throws SerialException
result undefined

    public String getBaseTypeName() throws SerialException
always return null

A lot of JCK tests failed due to these problems:
api/javax_sql/rowset/serial/SerialArray/index.html#Main[SerialArray2002]
api/javax_sql/rowset/serial/SerialArray/index.html#Main[SerialArray2003]
api/javax_sql/rowset/serial/SerialArray/index.html#Main[SerialArray2004]
api/javax_sql/rowset/serial/SerialArray/index.html#Main[SerialArray2005]
api/javax_sql/rowset/serial/SerialArray/index.html#Main[SerialArray2008]
api/javax_sql/rowset/serial/SerialArray/index.html#Main[SerialArray2009]

Priority is P2 because this class is completely useless without correct constructors.
